Who has shot 9mm in a .40 caliber can?

General silencer discussion. If you want to talk about a specific silenced rifle or pistol, it is best to do that in the rifle or pistol section for that brand.

All NFA laws apply.

Anyone has done this? If so how did it sound? Thanks for all your help.

I would say not so great: see this forum:

But if some one has actually done it with these calibers, chime in

I can personally attest that on the Colt 635 (keep in mind this has a little more ejection port noise than a roller-locked gun), 9mm fired through a Knight's .40 cal MP5 can is quieter than through a Gem-Tech Mk9k.

These were two identical subguns, side by side, with the same ammunition; one had the Knight's .40 cal can, and one had the Mk9k. Very interesting, considering the aperature on the .40 cal can may be ca. 25% larger in area.
